Spring Awakenings 🌿
Summer Sizzle 🌞
This is light and airy to me - like a walk along the beach in early morning.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne - Jo Malone
This has warm green top notes that dries to a lovely Sandlewood Sage. Perfect summer scent! I walked all over Seoul trying to find this, it was sold out but finally got it at Olive Young.
BiBiANG Eau De Parfum Walnut Creek Green 50ml | DODO SKIN
This has been my signature summer scent for years! Perfection, understated elegance.
English Pear & Freesia Cologne | Jo Malone London
There is something so sultry about this, probably the amber notes. Yet, this never feels heavy or “too much” for summer. It lingers forever. It is an absolute head turner and people will ask you what you are wearing.
Soleil Blanc Eau de Parfum
This was my very first fragrance as a young teenager and I remember getting it at Joseph Magnin’s store. I love this scent to this day.
Top: Orange Blossom, Basil, Coriander, Galbanum, Peach, Gardenia Base: Opoponax, Carnation, Patchouli, Sandalwoo...
Oscar EDT 3.4 Oz
It’s a classic and makes me feel instantly sophisticated. Soft and lingering. I love the scent on a silk scarf tied to my handbag, or when I grab a summer sweater.
TOP: The first notes you smell
Aldehydes, Neroli, Bergamot
MIDDLE: The heart of the ...
N°5 - Cologne & Fragrance
IYKYK! This immediately makes me feel like I am on vacation. It’s very seductively Parisian but light, with notes of Dragon Fruit, Orange Blossom, Tuberose & Musk. I layer with using the body scrub in the shower, body cream & this body spray.
Hair and Body Mist Travel - St. Barts Scent
Fall - First Frost 🍁
The wood and chestnut notes in this are irresistible. EVERYONE will ask you what you are wearing!
REPLICA By the Fireplace Eau de Toilette | Maison Margiela
Put a little Aquaphor balm on your pulse points then spritz this. Lasts all day! I cannot tell the difference between this and “By the Fireplace”
Melting Embers - Inspired by Replica by the Fireplace
If you are a Virgo, you’ll love this mother earth fragrance!
Gypsy Water Eau de Parfum 50 ml: Woody Aromatic
This hits all the notes for me - that woodsy warm with a little citrus kick! It’s like when you put the simmer on the stove with orange and lemon rind with a vanilla stick lavender, and cardamom. I love this fragrance as we’ll head into fall.

Bergamot Bond Perfume Oil
Wintering 🩵
As Daniel René would say, this is a sophisticated vanilla that is more “cashmere forward.” This scent makes me feel warm and cozy. This not too sweet, which is another reason this is my favorite vanilla scent.
SCENT NOTES: Top: Pink Pepper, Pink Ap...
Vanilla Skin Body Mist
This one is very soft and subtle but I find it intoxicating in some way. It dries to a powdery warm cherry amber for me.
Top: Black Cherry Jubilee Sugared Honeysuckle Petals
Heart: Natural Jasmine Absolute Sambac
Drydown: Glowing Amber Warm Musks
Ariana Grande - 3.4 oz r.e.m. Cherry Eclipse Eau de Parfum
This is such a luxurious scent. I’m really into woody and aromatic and this one hits all the right senses for me for a perfectly warm wintery scent. A plsy on words: "écorce" is French for "bark," and "corsé" means "full-bodied" like the coffee! The ...
Bois Corsé - Eau de Parfum
I love the Neroli top note in this one - that bitter orange that mingles with tobacco and vanilla. Yum! It’s pretty sexy.
Top Notes:
Neroli, Spanish lemon, Peppercorn
Heart Notes:
Clary sage, Vetiver, Rum
Base Notes:
Tobacco leaf, Vanilla, Styrax
Speakeasy - Inspired by Replica Jazz Club
Another sultry winter fragrance that really feels like holiday season for me:
Opens with Saffron, Juniper Berries & Cardamom, unfolds into Suede, Bourbon & Violet, and settles into a warm blend of Musk, Vanilla, Cedarwood & Sandalwood.
APRÈS Eau De Parfum
The cedarwood in this one is aromatic and also fresh. It reminds me of crisp afternoons in winter with that first snow on the ground, the fireplace going and a cup of tea. So cozy.
FRAGRANCE NOTES:
TOP: BERGAMOT, ARTEMISIA
MID: LAVENDAR, LABDANUM

Cedar Supreme - Perfume Oil
Spring Awakenings 🌿
This just reminds me of spring. Maybe it’s the mandarin notes that make me think of orange blossoms. This awakens your senses.
Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne | United States E-commerce Site - Jo Malone
There’s a reason this went viral, as they say, if mode was a perfume…
This is a perfect unisex fragrance.

Missing Person Fragrance
This scent reminds me of being in Sicily in the Conca d’oro citrus groves.
HEAD NOTES: Fresh Lemon of Calabria.
HEART NOTES: Turkish Delight with Rose.
BASE NOTES: Cedarwood, Intense Vanilla & White Musk.
Roses Vanille - Mancera Parfums
The ghost flower is a rare species that dares to blossom above this baked, hard ground. Despite its arid surroundings and inability to produce nectar, the ghost flower, or Mohavea confertiflora, maintains its perfect, majestic beauty and thrives year...
Mojave Ghost Eau de Parfum 50 ml
I fell in love at first encounter with this intoxicating, feminine fragrance. I had it sprayed on the little card in my handbag and I kept taking the card out to wave it front of my nose!
Inspired by a drive through the blossoming tree lined street...
